Bringing In More Traffic
As customers tighten up up on their spending,
those businesses providing solid value for each
dollar will survive.  Those selling "stuff" won't
do as well.  Which will you be?

Knowing your markets and their goals,
having a strategy for success, aligning
your business's structure to meet market
needs and company goals - all three are
critical, and make the difference between
growth and failure in today's cautious
market.  You CAN increase your business
tremendously in as little as six weeks by
putting a few hours into this area of
business planning, an area usually ne-
glected by business owners.

Tightening Up Sloppy Processes
Every business is made up of processes:  steps that lead to production of a product, delivery of a service, even the taking of orders.  Most are done every day, many dozens or hundreds of times a day.  What happens if they are not well planned?  The waste and rework happen dozens of times a day, too!  There are business processes limping along with up to 60% of their process steps either wasting time, wasting resources, or having to be done over!  Process Mapping is a tool that evaluates your business processes from three different viewpoints, making steps and bottlenecks obvious, giving your staff a starting point to eliminate waste.

Is it worth fooling with?  Well, if your business grosses $500,000 a year, each hour in operation is worth $240.  If faulty processes waste one hour a day, you have an improvement opportunity of $62,400 a year.  A 20% waste factor means $99,840 annually - $8,320 per month.  Those are real dollars going into rework, waste, and valueless work.

Where in your business could you use $8,320 a month?  What sort of difference could you make with it?
